Mozzarella Stuffed Chicken is a classic Italian dish that dates back to the 16th century. It is believed to have originated in the Campania region of Italy, where mozzarella cheese is a staple ingredient. The dish gained popularity in the United States in the 20th century, particularly in Italian-American communities. Renowned chefs like Lidia Bastianich and Giada De Laurentiis have popularized their own versions of this dish, adding their unique twists to the traditional recipe. Today, the best versions of Mozzarella Stuffed Chicken can be found in authentic Italian restaurants, particularly in the Campania region. The key to a perfect Mozzarella Stuffed Chicken lies in using high-quality mozzarella cheese and fresh, tender chicken breasts. Some alternative methods for making this dish include breading and frying the chicken for a crispy texture, or grilling it for a smoky flavor.
